Clinton hits Sanders for ‘artistic smear’
Perhaps her worst moment at the New Hampshire debate was when she was fending off Sanders’ accusation of being an establishment figure-by clumsily saying that was impossible because she’d be the first female president.
But now it’s Clinton’s rival Bernie Sanders, who has the momentum going into Election Day.
“Every woman I know knows it, whether you’re in the media, whether you’re in the professions, or business or politics, and I don’t anything else to do other than just keep forging through it”, says Clinton.
“I think she’s paid her dues”, said Clemence Cote, 54, of Derry.
Hillary Clinton confessed to a “big sigh of a relief” when she won Iowa’s Democratic caucuses by only a whisker over U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders last week. Even though she likes Clinton and voted for her in the 2008 primary, she said there’s just something special about the 74-year-old Sanders that even reminds her of a young John F. Kennedy.
She’s campaigning against the unlimited money that flows through super PACs, even though she has – as a practical, competitive matter – authorized a super PAC to raise money on her behalf.
Clinton’s campaign is wary that a big Sanders victory in New Hampshire could help him make headway among women and minority voters, important parts of the coalition that twice elected Obama as president.
This isn’t the first time Sanders has called out fraud on Wall Street. “Have you made up your mind?” host George Stephanopoulos, a Clinton Foundation donor, asked. People love me, okay.
Campaigning at a union hall in Las Vegas on Saturday, former President Bill Clinton called Sanders’ ideas politically unviable, giving the realities of divided government and ability of the Senate minority to block proposals that lack the support of 60 members.
Pastor Kenneth Stewart who preached to the audience before Clinton arrived, was speechless after Clinton’s remarks, openly crying from the pulpit after her remarks.
“Progressives are looking for poetry, and Hillary could use a little more of it”, a prominent Clinton supporter complained last week.
“He has tapped into something that is fundamentally wrong and concerning about this country”, Patrick Manion said, “and that is why so many people are feeling the fervor, are embracing the movement and understand that it’s time to take the country back”.
New Hampshire is renowned for its independence and contrarian voting habits, and anything can happen there.
One great New Hampshire primary tradition is giving the next generation of political leaders a chance to get a taste of how unique and exciting the action is in the final week.
She then challenged him: “If you’ve got something to say, say it directly, but you will not find that I ever changed a view or a vote because of any donation I ever received”. Her husband campaigned successively in a number of campaigns here.
Part of the tinkering Clinton is doing to her stump speech includes casting her message and history as forward-looking and pledging to do what she can to make young people’s “tomorrows” better than their past.
The “Bull Moose” Party platform of 1912 dovetails well with the Hillary Clinton platform of 2016, with emphasis on a stronger and more effective regulation of the American economy in the public interest.
Taking a detour from New Hampshire’s campaign trail, Hillary Clinton said Sunday that a water crisis in a MI city was “immoral” and demanded that Congress approve $200 million in emergency aid to address the community’s battle with lead-contaminated water.
While Sanders’ outsider sentiment resonates widely, it’s unclear whether it will be enough to overcome loyalty for Clinton in Pennsylvania, said Thomas Baldino, a political science professor at Wilkes University. “I voted against the war, I led the opposition against the war…”
